It was at the Wednesday press briefing last week that Victoria Nuland
announced Secretary Clinton's participation in a special U.N. Security
Council session.
"... on March 12, on Monday. I just
wanted to advise you she is going to attend a session of the UN Security
Council at the ministerial level that has been called by British
Foreign Minister Hague to talk about the broader impact and
ramifications of the Arab Spring. Foreign Secretary Hague will host the
meeting. The Brits are in the chair of the president of the Security
Council this month. And the Security Council foreign ministers will also
be joined by the foreign minister of Tunisia, of Libya, and of Egypt.
The Secretary will also take the opportunity to have a bilateral
meeting, as she said, with Foreign Minister Lavrov of Russia when she’s
up in New York."
The
Jerusalem Post,
notes that also on Monday, there will be a Quartet meeting while some
principals are in New York. Others will participate via conference
call.
